0:00.0	Ellis James and John Robbins. Radio X.
0:04.9	Welcome to the show, everyone. Welcome to the podcast. Great to have you with us today.
0:10.0	A couple of emails to go through. First off, a bit of sort of any other business from last week's show.
0:15.9	This is from James. I was interested to hear in the last podcast when Ellis mentioned it's been on live TV with E-17. John replied with, quote, how have you not used this considering some of the drivel you've come out with over the past 240 shows? Which was a good point. And quote, I remember all the four anecdotes you've told me. John will be disappointed to know that in fact this E-17 anecdote has been used twice already on the show. Once in episode 220 to John and once in episode 201 to Josh Whitacom while John was stuck in New York.
0:42.7	Because Ellis was sent into a shame spiral by his previous repetition of Ellis James anecdote number two, Rachel Stevens,
0:48.5	I hope he takes some solace that he was coerced into the anecdote by John.
0:52.4	Also by listening to each of the tellings of the anecdote, in turn, across the three podcasts,
0:56.6	the anecdote uses almost exactly the same wording in each case.
1:01.1	Because it's locked in.
1:02.8	This therefore cements Ellis's position as a safe pair of hands for anecdotes.
1:07.2	And finally, silence is the doubters who disagreed with his 2014 nomination for Chortle's Best Club Comic.
1:14.2	When robotic automation of anecdotes, finally revolutionizes the world of Welsh language stand-up comedy,
1:20.1	please let me be clear that it will solely be to prevent repetition of anecdotes rather than to prevent inconsistent ones.
1:25.2	Keep up the consistent work, James.
1:26.7	Thank you, James. Thank you, James.
1:27.8	Thank you, James.
1:28.5	Because I did think I'd said it on the show. It was John's incredulity that made me repeat it.
1:33.9	When you said, there's a bit of flying about, I remembered that and I thought, oh, I think we have heard this before.
1:40.1	But I didn't want to then derail the anecdote.
1:42.3	No, sorry, sorry.
1:45.6	But it's good to have another anecdote.
1:48.8	But I loved that you'd already used it on another podcast that week as well.
